BascoVanVeli:developing the player in what sense...? osaguona who spent several years in the npfl only to travel to Europe could not meet up and there after return to north Africa...and likewise many others....including Ezekiel bassey who could not even cope in Barcelona B team.. but say...a young player like a teenager will manage to cope as it will require them to begin the training process and shaping all over...being a young lad...he can be tailored quickly... I believe the npfl is a league any player shouldn't be comfortable wit...it should be a stepping stone for a better club...in Europe where players can be better tutored in the rudiment of football.. those coaches I see in the npfl many of them know nothing... I once watched...ogbeide talk in ITV before the the presenter....that he does not watch epl or any other foreign foptbal club...and this is a man who was coaching warri wolves as at then..... just to tell you....how dull some of this coaches are....little wonder I will say...the npfl don't just like infrastructural facilities...but also human resources.... because many of this coaches...don't understand the scientific nature of the round leather game...many won't even pass...should an exam be set for them. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes and "men" is not measured by age but by ability and willingness to act in the capacity of "men". Chief Icon4s.... If we go by this " men" talk, then the likes of Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ndidi and even Awaziem will be considered neonates despite their precocious talents. These are young lads that play like men when in the GWG and if Uzoho can play like that, then I have no problem with him being no.1 The WC is for men, yes but also for "boys" with the heart of men.... These boys will be exceptional talents no doubt with the heart to fight in their national colors. Examples of such "boys" who acted like men include 17 yrs old Pele (1958), 20 yrs old Thomas Muller (2010), Franz Beckanbauer at age 21 (1966), Samuel Eto'o at age 17 (1998), Etc.... In all, we hope for the best but I have no real fears about Uzoho and I trust Rohr knows what he is doing as he sees through the eyes of experience combined with Insight. Icon4s: |

Humility017: The players u mentioned should probably still be in the NPFL because they clearly can't cut it at the European elite clubs. This is why I say it is not by force to go to Europe. If players all go out of the NPFL then who will play in it? If the league focuses on development it will be a massive boost because we can finally start getting big money for our players and it can help our clubs. We have good coaches like Abdu Maikaba and Gbenga Ogubote our league is not filled with dummies, it is just our clubs who have to do the best for their players. |

Yep, so let us go draft in Aiyenugba and Enyeama then.... I suppose no one remembers how relatively inactive a 21-year-old talented Ondoa was before AFCON 2017. Cameroun had a Kameni but stuck with Ondoa and it paid off beautifully. We have lessons all around us. This brutal truth of "WC for men" in the GK dept cost us at France 98. With all of Rufai's experience, we flunked as he was no way near being super active prior to France 98. We need to be careful and take the better risk. AIG07: |

CHAN Final: Nigeria face sternest test yet vs. hosts Morocco By Kunle Fayiga, Correspondent ![]() The West Africans might have gone past Sudan, but now have it all to do against the Atlas Lions in Sunday's showpiece The Super Eagles of Nigeria made it to a first-ever CHAN final after seeing off Sudan 1-0 in Thursday’s semi-final in Marrakech , in typically dramatic fashion. Gabriel Okechuku – hero in the 2-1 extra time quarter-final win over 2011 runners-up Angola , was the man of the moment again as he latched on to Antony Okpotu’s header and coolly slotted the ball past Sudan goalie Akram in the 16th minute. Nigeria’s number one Ikechukwu Ezenwa had gone off injured four minutes earlier and was replaced by Plateau United’s Dele Ajiboye, who emerged as an unlikely hero for the national side. STATS | Check out the full-time stats! Which team had the better overall performance? #TotalCHAN2018 #SDNNGA==>> *check attached pic below. Despite their success to date, however, Salisu Yusuf and his coaching crew now come up against their toughest test yet, as they face Morocco , arguably the best team present at the CHAN, in Sunday's final. Indeed no team has scored more goals (12) than the Atlas Lions. The 4-0 opening Group A bashing of Mauritania and the 3-1 extra-time semi-final victory over rivals and 2014 champions Libya were prime examples of their dominance. I'm not even bothered on Manchester United's result against Spurs. The victory of our very own @NGSuperEagles against Sudan make me feel so happy and proud. They have made it to finals #CHAN2018 . Thank you, Nigeria! 11:01 PM - Jan 31, 2018 24 100 252 Sen Danjuma Goje @SenDanjumaGoje In contrast, the Super Eagles have not been at their eye-catching best despite making it through to the final. They weren’t convincing enough during the group phase, drawing their opener against Rwanda and struggling to get past Libya, before coming from behind to defeat Equatorial Guinea. The West Africans were on the cusp of elimination in the quarter-finals at the hands of 2011 runners-up Angola, but 2017 NPFL top scorer Anthony Okpotu equalised at the death before Akwa United’s Okechukwu sealed the deal in extra-time. Nigeria becomes first and ONLY team to play in all hosting cities. The Super Eagles might have a never-die attitude which has made them go this far, but they’ll need to be much better and sharper against Morocco at the Stade Mohammed V on Sunday. Unlike against Sudan, the defence can’t afford to be sloppy and leave the goalkeeper to save their blushes. Similarly, the midfield has been giving away possession cheaply throughout the tournament, and danger looms if they're similarly complacent against the hosts, who could capitalise on their failings. The absence of the banned Ifeanyi also denies them a key man in the heart of the midfield. ![]() Above all, the attack needs to be sharper and convert their chances. The likes of Sunday Faleye and Okpotu have shone brightly on occasion in North Africa, but have also been wasteful with their finishing. On the day, game-management will be critical, and the Eagles need so settle early in order to take the sting out of opponents who will be desperate to lift the title in front of their own fans. ![]() The nation are gradually emerging from a dark period of underachievement, with the senior national team qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 20 years after reaching the quarter final of the Nations Cup, and Wydad Casablanca lifting the CAF Champions League as the nation's first winners since Raja Casablanca in 1999. Morocco are a footballing nation back on the rise, and their talented and offensively dominant home-based team, with the advantage of home support, represent the sternest test yet for these home-based Eagles.

Humility017:Easy bro the way you are bashing NPFL then the league will never develop cos it seems you are not seeing anything good in the league,pls,NPFL remain our own and i wish one day we would be there though not easy. Mind you,not only NPFL players are failing to make the cut in Europe,so Ezekiel failed in Barca team not an issue,hope you know that Dele Ali failed a trial with Liverpool,Tottenham almost lost Harry Kane,Yaya Toure failed Arsenal trial,so it happened in football not peculiar to home based. Why not mentioned Alhassan Muzzam who went from NPFL straight to starting line up in Europe or Stephen Odey who went to Switzerland,also Afeez Aremu and Chima Akas. This league has produced enough players for our national teams and it will continue irrespective of state of infrastructure or human resources. I want you to know we have some local coaches who reason like us and understand the game very well,so try and always balance your view on NPFL cos this thread is a world recognize one and a lot peep here to know more about Nigeria football. |
